sure-footedness
I published this poem I wrote on another blog, but feel compelled to share it here.
when you are on the right track,
the ground underneath you is solid and secure,
even as the sounds of the thunderstorms approaching
threaten you with a fearful row.
you already know what to do,
and you’ve been doing it most of your life:
you put one foot in front of another,
and move forward on the path
that you have paved with
all your acts of courage.
